This was an interesting book. A Quaker woman marries a man who is trying to start a cattle ranch during the Great Depression/Dust Bowl years. Both have issues in their past lives that somewhat hinder the marriage. Then Virginia's mentally handicapped brother comes to live with them and help on the ranch.

This book is fiction but was based on a real woman's life as told to the author. Simply written and thouroughally enjoyable; realistic, a quick read. The way it ended, hopefully a sequel...?
